"This new distribution center will leverage Georgia's position as a global logistics hub to help FedEx Ground provide the high level of service its customers expect," Chris Cummiskey, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Economic Development, said in a statement. "Georgia is glad to play a part in FedEx Ground's growth in the Southeast."

The Norcross facility will serve stretches from Buckhead to Cumming and Lawrenceville to Dunwoody.
